Why religion is a dangerous tool in a war on terror
Some Islamic extremists see it as their duty to God to wage war on non-believers (aka Jews & Christians). Since the majority religion in the US is Christianity, they see us as a Christian nation. This is precisely why it only makes things worse when people like Boykin and * paint this as "Christianity vs. Islam," "Jesus vs. Allah," "a crusade," and "a holy war." If we want to reduce the danger to Americans, people in this country needs to stop playing this "my god has a bigger dick than your god" game.

Just my 2 cents for the day

No more wars or hate, no more ignorance.

3. This kind of war is a result
of one group telling the other that their imaginary friends are tougher then the others imaginary friends.

For what is considered an "enlightened" age, mankind is fast proving that that evolution thing is not going as well as we would like.

Scratch a "civilized" man and you will find a "caveman" underneath.
